Diesel Engine Idling — In Cold Weather
Avoid prolonged idling in ambient tempera-
tures below 0°F (-18°C). Long periods of
idling may be harmful to your engine
because combustion chamber temperatures
can drop so low that the fuel may not burn
completely. Incomplete combustion allows
carbon and varnish to form on piston rings
and injector nozzles. Also, the unburned fuel
can enter the crankcase, diluting the oil and
causing rapid wear to the engine.
Stopping the Engine
The following chart should be used as a
guide in determining the amount of engine
idle time required to sufficiently cool down
the turbocharger before shut down,
depending upon the type of driving and the
amount of cargo.
Before turning off your turbo diesel engine,
always allow the engine to return to normal idle
speed and run for several seconds. This
ensures proper lubrication of the turbocharger. This is particularly necessary after any period
of hard driving.
Idle the engine a few minutes before routine
shutdown. After full load operation, idle the
engine three to five minutes before shutting
it down. This idle period will allow the lubri
-
cating oil and coolant to carry excess heat
away from the combustion chamber, bear -
ings, internal components, and turbo -
charger. This is especially important for
turbocharged, charge air cooled engines.

ENGINE BREAK-IN
RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required for the
engine and drivetrain (transmission and axle)
in your vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles
(500 km). After the initial 60 miles
(100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or
90 km/h) are desirable.
While cruising, brief full-throttle accelera-
tion within the limits of local traffic laws
contributes to a good break-in. Wide-open
throttle acceleration in low gear can be detri -
mental and should be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the
factory is a high-quality energy conserving
type lubricant. Oil changes should be consis -
tent with anticipated climate conditions
under which vehicle operations will occur.
For the recommended viscosity and quality
grades, refer to “Fluids And Lubricants” in
“Technical Specifications”. NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during
its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of
operation. This should be considered a
normal part of the break-in and not inter
-
preted as a problem.
AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
NOTE:
You must press and hold the brake pedal
while shifting out of PARK. CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight
Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may
result.
CAUTION!
Shift into or out of PARK or REVERSE
only after the vehicle has come to a
complete stop.
Do not shift between PARK, REVERSE,
NEUTRAL, or DRIVE when the engine is
above idle speed.
Before shifting into any gear, make sure
your foot is firmly pressing the brake
pedal.
WARNING!
Never use the PARK position as a substi -
tute for the parking brake. Always apply
the parking brake fully when exiting the
vehicle to guard against vehicle move-
ment and possible injury or damage.
Your vehicle could move and injure you
and others if it is not in PARK. Check by
trying to move the transmission gear
selector out of PARK with the brake
pedal released. Make sure the transmis-
sion is in PARK before exiting the
vehicle.
The transmission may not engage PARK
if the vehicle is moving. Always bring the
vehicle to a complete stop before
shifting to PARK, and verify that the
transmission gear position indicator
solidly indicates PARK (P) without
blinking. Ensure that the vehicle is
completely stopped, and the PARK posi -
tion is properly indicated, before exiting
the vehicle.

FUSES
General Information
The fuses protect electrical systems against
excessive current.
When a device does not work, you must
check the fuse element inside the blade fuse
for a break/melt.
Also, please be aware that when using power
outlets for extended periods of time with the
engine off may result in vehicle battery
discharge.
CAUTION!
Do not touch the new bulb with your
fingers. Oil contamination will severely
shorten bulb life. If the bulb comes in
contact with any oily surface, clean the
bulb with rubbing alcohol.
WARNING!
When replacing a blown fuse, always use
an appropriate replacement fuse with
the same amp rating as the original fuse.
Never replace a fuse with another fuse of
higher amp rating. Never replace a blown
fuse with metal wires or any other mate-
rial. Failure to use proper fuses may
result in serious personal injury, fire and/
or property damage.
Before replacing a fuse, make sure that
the ignition is off and that all the other
services are switched off and/or disen -
gaged.
If the replaced fuse blows again, contact
an authorized dealer.
If a general protection fuse for safety
systems (air bag system, braking
system), power unit systems (engine
system, gearbox system) or steering
system blows, contact an authorized
dealer.
CAUTION!
If it is necessary to wash the engine
compartment, take care not to directly hit
the fuse box, and the windshield wiper
motors with water.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for guaranteeing a
long life for the car under the best condi-
tions. For this reason, Jeep has planned a
series of checks and services at fixed
distance intervals and, where provided, at
fixed time intervals, as described in the
Scheduled Servicing plan. To keep the car’s
efficiency in tip-top condition, in the
following Scheduled Service plan pages a
few additional checks are listed that should
be carried out more frequently with respect
to the normal coupon redemption schedule.
Scheduled Servicing is offered by all autho -
rized dealerships according to fixed time or
mileage intervals. If, during each operation,
in addition to the ones scheduled, the need
arises for further replacements or repairs,
these may be carried out with the owner's
explicit agreement only.
The technicians at your dealership know your
vehicle best, and have access to factory
trained information, genuine Mopar parts,
and specially designed electronic and
mechanical tools that can help prevent
future costly repairs. If your car is used
frequently for towing, the interval between
one scheduled servicing operation and the next should be reduced. More frequent main
-
tenance may be needed for vehicles in severe
operating conditions, such as dusty areas
and very short trip driving.
NOTE:
Scheduled Servicing interventions are set
out by the Manufacturer. Failure to have
them carried out may invalidate the
warranty. It is advised to inform an autho -
rized dealership of any small operating irreg -
ularities without waiting for the next service.
Scheduled Servicing — Gasoline Engine
The oil change indicator system (if
equipped) will remind you that it is time to
take your vehicle in for engine oil replace -
ment.
On vehicles equipped with instrument
cluster display, “Oil Change Required” will
be displayed and a single chime will sound,
indicating that an oil change is necessary.
On non-instrument cluster display equipped
vehicles, “Change Oil” will flash in the
instrument cluster odometer and a single
chime will sound, indicating that an oil
change is necessary. The oil change indicator message will illumi
-
nate approximately 7,000 miles
(11,200 km) after the most recent oil
change was performed. Have your vehicle
serviced as soon as possible, within
500 miles (800 km). However, an earlier oil
change at 4,500 miles (7,500 km) may be
required if the vehicle is operated under
“Severe Duty Conditions” later in this
section.
NOTE:
The oil change indicator message will not
monitor the time since the last oil change.
Change your vehicle's oil if it has been
12 months since your last oil change even
if the oil change indicator message is NOT
illuminated.
Change your engine oil more often if you
drive your vehicle off-road for an extended
period of time.
Under no circumstances should oil change
intervals exceed 7,500 miles
(12,000 km) or 12 months, whichever
comes first.
An authorized dealer will reset the oil change
indicator message after completing the
scheduled oil change.

Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip
Check the engine oil level about five
minutes after a fully warmed engine is
shut off. Checking the oil level while the
vehicle is on level ground will improve the
accuracy of the oil level reading. Add oil
only when the level is at or below the ADD
or MIN mark.
Check the windshield washer solvent and
add if required.
Check tire pressure and look for unusual
wear or damage. Rotate tires at the first
sign of irregular wear.
Inspect the battery and clean and tighten
the terminals as required.
Check the fluid levels of coolant reservoir,
brake master cylinder and power steering
and fill as needed.
Check all lights and other electrical items
for correct operation.At Each Oil Change
Change the engine oil filter.
Inspect the brake hoses and lines.
Inspect the CV/Universal joints.
Check tire pressure and look for unusual
wear or damage. Rotate tires at the first
sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs
before the oil indicator system turns on.

Scheduled Servicing — Diesel Engine
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic
oil change indicator system. The oil change
indicator system will remind you that it is
time to take your vehicle in for engine oil
replacement.
On vehicles equipped with instrument
cluster display, “Oil Change Required” will
be displayed and a single chime will sound,
indicating that an oil change is necessary.
On non-instrument cluster display equipped
vehicles, “Change Oil” will flash in the
instrument cluster odometer and a single
chime will sound, indicating that an oil
change is necessary.

Based on engine operation conditions, the oil
change indicator message will illuminate. This
means that service is required for your vehicle.
Operating conditions such as frequent
short-trips, trailer tow, extremely hot or cold
ambient temperatures will influence when the
“Oil Change Required” message is displayed. Severe Operating Conditions can cause the
change oil message to illuminate as earlier than
specified. Have your vehicle serviced as soon
as possible, within the next 500 miles
(805 km).

NOTE:
The actual interval for changing engine oil
and replacing the engine oil filter depends
on the vehicle usage conditions, and is
signaled by the warning light or message
in the instrument panel. In any case, it
must never exceed 12,500 miles
(20,000 km) or 1 year
Flush and replace the engine coolant at
120 months or 150,000 miles (240,000 km)
whichever comes first.
The maximum mileage is 75,000 mi
(120,000 km). The belt must be replaced
every 5 years regardless of distance trav-
eled. The timing and accessory belts must be
changed every 37,500 miles (60,000 km) or
3 years for particularly demanding use
(dusty areas, severe weather conditions,
very low or very high temperatures for
extended periods, city driving, long periods
of idling). Under no circumstances should
